My pictures are downloading to my York account right now, then I'll post some...I took forty!!

I shook the hand of a soldier on our way out and thanked him. Our eyes met and we just looked at each other for a moment and I'll never forget it for the rest of my days...the look of appreciation and pride in his eyes.

I had to take a couple of my kids to the bathroom, and a group of Vietnam vets were hanging out around the coffee sales. I shook hands with half a dozen while I waited. My Dad did two tours.

I don't know if you noticed an old man in a khaki uniform walking along at the bottom of the home team stands ... He's the head of the Veterans' Historical Society, and was one of the liberators of Buchenwald concentration camp.

We sat behind a whole row of WW2 vets. My kids were in awe (except my 2yo, she was just furious that we wouldn't let her play in the puddles!).

Great show for our city!
